Hello all,

I am just checking to see if I missed something?  The way I read the rules on Biomancy, you only need a number of shifts equal to the severity of the Consequence to remove it, and with enchanted items they can perform any action that Thaumaturgy can do?

So I made a concept character who had power 10 enchanted items and 4 enchanted item slots(only costs me 5 refresh), and then divided up the power slots and got the following?  Is this RAW correct (even though you should be smacked for bringing this to a table?)

Name:                               Effect                                Power        Uses
-Minor Healing Stone:          Heals a Minor Consequence 2               9
-Medium Healing Stone:       Heals a Moderate               4               7
-Severe Healing Stone:        Heals a Severe                   6               5
-Armor Enchantment:          Block 10, or Armor 5           10             1

Hello all,

I was just having a discussion with one of my players about the Speed powers vs. the Strength powers, and we came up with an interesting trick, and I wanted to make sure I had it right?

The Athletic Ability trapping of the Speed Powers, give you a +1, +2, or +3 bonus to all athletics skill checks, so if you took a stunt that allows you to attack using the athletics skill such as Ball Toss (from the Home Brew Stunts master list), and Mythic Speed you could have an accuracy of 8, and base defense 8?

This seems incredibly powerful, especially if you add on something like a strength power?

Hello all,

I was wondering if you take mental stress when you use Thaumaturgy at the speed of evocation, due to sponsored magic?  This is what my gut instinct is, but I wanted to make sure. 

Sorry, if these questions have been asked my search-fu is weak on this site.

I was helping my players with their rotes, and examples of magical spells, and I wanted to make sure I understood the rules for these two events? 

Destroying items, specifically weapons?
If destroying all the guns, and swords in a zone, lets say as a water spell would this need to be a 5 power spell, 2 for the zone wide effect, and 3 for the maneuver, or would you need an 8 or so 2 for the zone and 6 to break them like they were metal door?

What about disarming?
Would I need to beat an enemies relevant skill by 3, or just power 3 and "hit" them?

Hello all,

I was wondering if the limit to power equal to 2x your lore skill, was before the 2 to affect an entire zone, or the points to increase the duration of an effect?

Hello all,

I had a couple questions that came up when I was thinking about using William Forsythe's world of Haven, so here they are.  (Book is Crystal Warriors, yeah I know a crap-tastic title.)

1) How big does the item need to be to get the +2 bonus, rather than the +1?  I was specifically thinking of a Belt?   

2) Is it OK to use refinements on an item of power, to improve your spell casting, I would probably avoid using it to improve Crafting even though that would be incredibly powerful, as it would be odd that you would get the bonus for your permanent items even if you lost the item. 

Hello all,

After reading some of the posts on my shotgun parrying thread, I was also thinking that a new power could be great something that could be used to deal with the irritation, I feel and many others feel towards the Claws, and Breath Weapon powers being so narrowly written. 

Please provide any advice or suggested changes to the power, if you find them warranted, or if I wrote something confusing. 

Cost: (Variable, the base damage of the weapon, usually 3.)
Name: Always Armed
Description: You have the innate ability to summon or banish a copy of any weapon forged by man into your hands. 
Skills Affected: Weaponry, Guns
Effects: As a supplemental action, This power summons a high quality weapon of some type into your hands, it may be changed whenever you wish or banished back to wherever it comes from.  The weapon comes loaded if it is a gun of some type. 
Upgrades:
-1: The weapon may be summoned reflexively as a free action, if you are not expecting combat, or if you need a different type of weapon.
-1: The weapon may be split into 2 separate weapons, each of no higher cost than the base cost of this power.
-1: When you summon the weapon it may come with a sticky aspect chosen at that time, that may be tagged once for free.  This is usually something like silver ammunition, or forged of cold iron. 
+1: If limited to a single weapon or gun.  Such as Shotguns, or Pistols. 
Special: This power explicitly is allowed to perform maneuvers, or spray attacks if the type of weapon makes sense, or if a stunt would modify the weapon to be able to perform that action. 

Personal Notes:
-Circles: I doubt the attacks of this power could harm something on the other side of a Circle?  It probably would also be turned back into harmless ectoplasm if you become trapped in a circle?

-Thresholds: Same thing as a circle so probably the same effect, and would make an interesting and surprising weakness if your human with this power tries to storm someones home. 

-Might get around a few catches just by being not forged by mortal hands. . .

Hello All,

I was just playing around comparing the different combat styles you get, I had only done a couple until I came up with an interesting stunt, its a variation on the standard Riposte.  

Basically its for those odd ducks that use a sword, and a pistol.  Faerie Musketeers for the win. . .

Stunt Name: I'm Your Huckleberry
Requires: Off Hand Weapon Training

On a successful defense with the Weapons skill, you may sacrifice your next action to turn that attack into an automatically successful Guns attack.  

I am slightly concerned that since Riposte limits you to the same zone, and may determining on your reading of it, require the attack against the person who attacked you.  The stunt could be abused I am sure, but I would assume that would take another stunt or two. . .
